Sometimes we eat a warm chocolate chip cookie or a good piece of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with a cold glass of milk (or maybe chocolate milk). Other than Easter, Christmas or Valentine's day, we seem to have an old tradition of having something chocolatey for our birthdays. We tend to take for granted the nice piece of chocolate we all give to our loved ones. The tradition of giving chocolate began in 19th century .The 19th century was the time of the Industrial Revolution. During the time when machines started to make our lives easier, a Dutch chemist Conrad Van Houten developed a way of making powdered chocolate – the kind you reach for in the cupboard to make a good glass of chocolate milk. That is the same chocolate powder used to make the Hershey's bar you are currently craving right now. Later on, Henri Nestle joined forces with a Swiss corporation to bring about Nestle Chocolate. This later inspired comp...

I, Quantum Robot

The first recording in literature of a possible description of the robot is found in the Iliad in reference to a "a three-legged cauldron that had ears for handles". Later on, in 1900, we were introduced to Tik-Tok in Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz. The word robot was first used in 1920 by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). This would be the first dramatization of a robot under this name. However, robots would come to life and be used for practical purposes in 1962. General Motors was the first company to use a robot for industrial purposes. Since then, robots have been used in many ways. They have come in all shapes and sizes. They have been used in the medical field, the armed forces, and in the space program. Now as we face the 21st century, technology evolves more. A new kind of robot is being studied and research...

We are facing new technologies daily. These technologies are changing our lives and helping us to live better. One technology that is constantly changing is the computer. For years, we have used these miraculous devices in cars, banks, at work, home, and in school.This type of computer has been known to us as the "classical computer". The first classical computer was developed in 1936. Now with the onset of the 21st century, we are looking at a new type of computer. This computer is called a "quantum computer". So why the quantum computer? When we refer to "quantum", we are talking about atoms and molecules. The properties of atoms and molecules allow us to be more precise in measurement and processes. So to have a computer made of atoms and molecules, we can do tasks that are faster, more accurate, and more refined. It can help us to be more precise in a GPS with location, be more refined in the ...

The Chameleon of Quantum Culture: Wave-Particle Duality

One central theme to quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality. This is part of the culture of quantum mechanics. Wave -particle duality is like calling something two different names but it still is the same thing. For example, we call water "water". In Spanish, they call water "agua". It's the same substance but two different names. That is the same way with wave-particle duality. This idea dates back to the days of Aristotle and Democritus. Aristotle believed that light was a disturbance in the air. Democritus believed that everything was made up of what we now call "atoms". Later on in the 17th century, these ideas were more refined. Christiaan Huygens stated that light was composed of waves while Isaac Newton argued that light was made of particles. So is a wave so different from a particle and vice versa? To understand A...

Toxic anterior segment syndrome and possible association with ointment in the anterior chamber following cataract surgery

John Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Eight patients had uneventful phacoemulsification by the same surgeon via clear corneal incisions with implantation of the same 3-piece silicone IOL design. Postoperative medications included antibiotic/steroid ointment and pilocarpine gel; each eye was firmly patched at the end of the procedure. On the first postoperative day, some patients presented with diffuse corneal edema, increased intraocular pressure, and an oily film-like material within the anterior chamber coating the corneal endothelium. The others presented with an oily bubble floating inside the anterior chamber, which was later seen coating the IOL. Additional surgical procedures required included penetrating keratoplasty, IOL explantation, and trabeculectomy. Two corneal buttons were analyzed histopathologically. Two explanted IOLs had gross and light microscopic analyses (as well as surface analyses of 1 of them), and 4 other explanted IOLs had gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pathological examination of the corneas showed variable thinning of the epithelium with edema. The stroma was diffusely thickened and the endothelial cell layer was absent. Evaluation of the explanted IOLs confirmed the presence of an oily substance coating large areas of their anterior and posterior optic surfaces. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of the lens extracts identified a mixed chain hydrocarbon compound that was also found in the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of the ointment used postoperatively. The results indicate that the ointment gained access to the eye, causing the postoperative complications described. These cases highlight the importance of appropriate wound construction and integrity, as well as the risks of tight eye patching following placement of ointment.
